In this special edition of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers a breaking update on peace in the Middle East — as Israel and Hamas accept President Trump's peace plan. From the release of hostages to a new path toward Arab-Israeli reconciliation, today's report covers the facts, intelligence insights, and listener questions on what this historic moment means for the world. Trump Announces Peace Deal Between Israel and Hamas: President Trump revealed that Israel and Hamas have both signed on to Phase One of his 20-point peace plan, with help from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. “This means that all of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their troops to an agreed-upon line as the first steps toward a strong, durable, and everlasting peace,” he said. The agreement includes a ceasefire, the release of approximately 20 surviving hostages, and Israel's withdrawal to key defensive lines. Prisoner Exchange and Humanitarian Aid: Israel will release about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners within 48 hours while Hamas returns the living hostages. The bodies of 28 murdered captives, including two Thai citizens, remain withheld. In exchange for disarmament and the entry of humanitarian aid, Gaza will move toward a transitional governance phase under international oversight. The Road Ahead — Hamas Must Go: Phase Two of the plan requires Hamas to disarm and give up control of Gaza. Trump's decision to pledge U.S. military defense to Qatar — a key Hamas ally — may have been part of a broader deal to pressure the group's leadership and expand the Abraham Accords. “We gave them something massive so Trump could get something massive in return,” Bryan explains. Listener Q&A on the Peace Process: Bryan answers listener questions about why hostages are being released slowly, why Hamas might accept defeat, and why this peace effort may succeed where others failed. He describes a Middle East transformed: Iran weakened, Hezbollah diminished, Syria and Lebanon reshaped, and Gulf nations eager for modernization. Intelligence Services at Work: Mossad, the CIA, MI6, and Arab agencies are already recruiting informants and installing surveillance systems to stabilize Gaza. Bryan explains how spies will penetrate interim governments, military forces, and communication networks as Gaza transitions to a monitored peace. Challenges Ahead — Extremism on Both Sides: Bryan warns that both Palestinian and Israeli extremists could attempt to sabotage the deal, but Trump's leverage with Arab governments makes large-scale rebellion unlikely. What It Means for America: A lasting peace could allow U.S. forces to withdraw from the Middle East, focus on China and Latin America, and enable the deportation of radicalized Palestinians and Islamists from the U.S. and Europe. “If this holds,” Bryan says, “it's good for Israel, good for Arabs, and good for us. Bravo, Mr. President.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Israel Hamas peace plan, Middle East peace hostages release, Gaza ceasefire international oversight, Hamas disarmament phase two, Qatar defense pledge Trump, Abraham Accords expansion, Mossad CIA MI6 Gaza intelligence, Palestinian prisoners exchange, Biden foreign policy contrast, Gaza transitional governance, Arab Stabilization Force, U.S. withdrawal Middle East focus China, deportation of radicals Europe U.S.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a major breakthrough in Alaska's mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America's southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics. From Alaska's mining roads to Kazakhstan's railways and Germany's labs, today's brief connects America's economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology. Trump Greenlights Alaska's Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake: President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska's copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.” AI Model Claude Knows When It's Being Tested: Anthropic's Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you're testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI's “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.” Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low: CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump's monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden's 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden's border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.” Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case: Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado's ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It's conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.” Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania: A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden's 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter's Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.” Trump's $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan: Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan's Wabtec, while Trump's new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China's Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes. Africa's Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity: As Botswana's diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry. Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali: AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors. German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health: Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer. Bryan invites listener feedback: “Better we talk about this now — before we learn the hard way.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Ambler Road Alaska, Trilogy Metals federal stake, Alaska copper cobalt germanium, Anthropic Claude AI awareness, OpenAI scheming AI safety, CBS border crossings 50-year low, Biden border policy demographics, Kaley Chiles Colorado therapy case Supreme Court, ACLU Skokie Nazi free speech 1977, Joe Biden Hunter Burisma CIA report, James Biden Romania land deal, Trump Kazakhstan Wabtec locomotives TRIPP corridor, Botswana diamond collapse, Ukraine Mali drones al Qaeda ISIS, German microplastics gut health study

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover an alarming report on Chinese illegal immigrants working as truck drivers inside the U.S., Beijing's growing cyber warfare networks, Trump's possible use of the Insurrection Act, and global political upheavals from France to Japan, with a surprising touch of good news about whales. From container trucks to coups and conservation, today's brief connects threats on American soil to global movements shaping our future. Chinese Illegal Truckers on U.S. Roads: A new investigation by the Daily Caller reveals that illegal immigrants from China are now driving trucks across America with commercial licenses obtained through a nonprofit tied to Beijing's United Front Work Department. The organization, CATOU, boasts a 100 percent pass rate for drivers who often cannot read English or road signs. Bryan warns that this, combined with China's control of port cranes and containerized missile systems, creates “an existential threat sitting in plain sight.” China's SIM Farm Cyber Operation: Law enforcement uncovered 300,000 Chinese-controlled SIM cards in New York capable of sending 30 million texts per minute, enough to crash city networks and emergency systems. The devices were linked to China's intelligence agency, the MSS, which has used similar systems to target U.S. officials and conservative figures. “No more scalpels. Chainsaws only,” Bryan urges, calling for mass visa revocations and deportations. Trump's Insurrection Act Warning: President Trump hinted he may invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to deploy federal troops in cities like Portland and Chicago, where Democrat officials refuse to protect federal officers. The move recalls Lincoln's 1861 use of the law to quell rebellion. “These are acts of insurrection,” Bryan says, citing violence against ICE agents and the left's normalization of lawlessness. Global Political Upheaval: France's fifth prime minister in two years resigned after another budget collapse, while populists swept elections in the Czech Republic and Japan shifted right under new conservative leader Sanae Takaichi. Meanwhile, Michael Bloomberg announced a $50 million campaign to “fight populism” by grooming leftist city leaders worldwide. A Moment of Reflection and Hope: On the anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attacks, Bryan offered prayers for Israeli and Palestinian victims alike, urging peace as Trump's team nears a possible Gaza deal. In Argentina, scientists shared rare good news: the southern right whale population has rebounded to 4,700 and continues to grow. “We celebrate the whales,” Bryan concludes, “and feel bad for the humans who may go extinct if we're not careful.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Chinese illegal immigrants truck drivers, CATOU United Front Work Department, China port cranes container missile system, Daily Caller Chinese CDL investigation, SIM Farm cyber operation MSS New York, Trump Insurrection Act 1807 Portland Chicago, ICE agent attacks sanctuary cities, France government collapse Macron, Czech Republic populist Andrej Babiš, Japan Sanae Takaichi conservative leader, Michael Bloomberg anti-populism funding, Hamas October 7 anniversary Gaza peace deal, Argentina southern right whales population recovery

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover violent new attacks on ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, Trump's plan to federalize National Guard units, the shutdown of apps used to track ICE officers, a cash offer to illegal immigrants, a shocking Virginia political scandal, and global updates from Greenland to Ukraine, the UK, Gaza, and Africa. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world. Violent Weekend on the Immigration Front: Radical activists in Chicago used phone apps to track ICE agents, boxed them in with ten cars, and rammed a federal vehicle. When the lead agitator, Marimar Martínez, brandished a gun, ICE agents fired back, lightly injuring her. Chicago police refused to assist, with supervisors citing sanctuary city laws. Trump responded by federalizing 300 Illinois National Guardsmen, saying, “If the governor won't protect federal officers, I will.” Portland Judge Blocks Federal Guard Deployment: After months of violence and arson targeting federal buildings, Oregon's Judge Karin Immergut refused to let Trump deploy 200 Oregon Guardsmen. The White House will instead send California troops. City council member Angelita Morillo, an admitted Marxist, has been helping activists buy burner phones to coordinate attacks. Apple and Google Drop Anti-ICE Apps: Following a Trump DOJ order, Apple and Google removed apps used to crowdsource ICE agent locations. Developers and activists called the move authoritarian, but DHS pointed to the weekend's attempted murder of ICE officers as proof the apps “facilitate organized violence, not free speech.” Trump Expands “Pay to Leave” Immigration Program: Migrants aged 14 to 17 who entered illegally will now be offered $2,500 and a plane ticket home. Critics say the policy “coerces” children, but Trump argues it's cheaper and safer than detaining or deporting them. Reuters reports Guatemalan parents still refuse to take their kids back, preferring they keep working in the U.S. Virginia Democrat Calls for Murder of GOP Speaker and Children: Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces backlash for texting that Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his two young children “should be shot.” Fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger defended him, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” Bryan warns, “The Left is openly dehumanizing children now — what happens when words become policy?” Greenland's Rare Earth Deal with the U.S.: The Trump administration is negotiating an investment partnership with Greenland's Critical Metals Corp to secure rare earth minerals and limit Chinese control. Bryan calls it “the front line of America's Mineral Wars.” China Feeding Intel to Russia in Ukraine: Beijing is providing targeting data that includes U.S.-owned facilities, dragging out the conflict to drain American stockpiles. UK Scandal Over Chinese Spies: British PM Keir Starmer quashed espionage charges against two Chinese-linked researchers by refusing to label China an “enemy.” Bryan warns it's time to “pull the plug on Five Eyes intel sharing” until the UK gets serious about national security. Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Netanyahu's Pressure: Envoy Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner head to Cairo to finalize a deal requiring Hamas to disarm or face “complete obliteration.” Netanyahu faces backlash from his coalition, which could collapse if Hamas keeps any political power. Nigeria's Christian Genocide Expands: Islamist militants from Boko Haram and ISIS killed hundreds in northern Nigeria, driving thousands into Cameroon. Bryan warns Biden's CIA may be indirectly aiding jihadists to attack Russian and Chinese targets. Medical News — Parkinson's and Back Pain Relief: South Korean researchers linked tooth bacteria to Parkinson's risk, while a German cannabis extract eased chronic back pain. Bryan reminds listeners, “Keep brushing and walking — the mind and body are more connected than we realize.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Chicago ICE attack Marimar Martínez, Trump federalizes Illinois National Guard, Chicago police sanctuary policy, Portland Judge Karin Immergut National Guard, Angelita Morillo Marxist burner phones, Apple Google anti-ICE apps removed, Trump migrant cash offer $2,500, Jay Jones Virginia AG murder text, Abigail Spanberger rage fuel comments, Greenland rare earth minerals Critical Metals Corp, China intel to Russia Ukraine war, Keir Starmer Chinese spies case UK, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament, Nigeria Christian genocide Boko Haram ISIS, Parkinson's oral bacteria South Korea, German cannabis chronic back pain

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the third day of the government shutdown, new polling on political violence, a Minnesota immigration bust, shocking revelations in the Epstein case, crackdowns on unsafe foreign truck drivers, the rising cost of AI power demands, European drone threats, the UK's immigration and crime crisis, a free speech case in Switzerland, a new defense pact in the Pacific, and the science of living to 117. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend. Day Three of the Shutdown: Trump celebrated, “I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity.” He is targeting Democrat-leaning agencies and clawing back billions from NYC's subway system and Biden's green energy projects to fund AI and mineral wars. Poll on Political Violence: NPR and PBS found 30 percent of Americans say violence may be necessary to “steer the country in the right direction,” up from 19 percent last year. Bryan warns that equals 60 million people. Immigration Fraud Bust in Minnesota: Operation Twin Shield uncovered 275 likely cases of sham marriages, fake jobs, and forged documents. Nationwide “neighborhood checks” are set to follow. Epstein Blackmail Claims: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a former neighbor, said Epstein's massage room “was on video” and called him “the greatest blackmailer ever.” His account echoes Cindy McCain's 2020 remark that “we all knew” what Epstein was doing. Foreign Truck Driver Crackdown: DOT Secretary Sean Duffy imposed strict new visa, immigration, and English requirements after finding 25 percent of California CDLs are bogus. Trucking groups applauded the move. AI Sends Power Bills Higher: Bloomberg reports AI data centers pushed utility costs up $16.1 billion in the PJM grid, raising household bills. But Johns Hopkins found AI can predict surgical complications better than doctors, offering life-saving potential. Russia's Shadow Fleet and Drone Threats: France detained a Russian oil tanker tied to drones buzzing Denmark. Bryan warns adversaries could launch drones or missiles from disguised ships off U.S. shores. UK's Crisis of Immigration and Crime: A Syrian named Jihad al-Shamie attacked a synagogue, while a British blogger was arrested for posting “F- Hamas.” Seven Pakistani men were sentenced for grooming gangs, and the NHS briefly praised first-cousin marriage before pulling the report. Swiss Man Jailed for Free Speech: He refused to pay fines for calling gender ideology a “mental illness” and chose 10 days in jail. Bryan notes Trump and Vance are right to warn Europe is committing “national suicide.” Pacific Defense Pact: Papua New Guinea signed a deal with Australia, reversing a drift toward Beijing and securing vital waters for U.S. and allied navies. Life at 117: Spanish researchers studied a woman who lived to 117, crediting strong gut bacteria, olive oil, daily walks, and plain yogurt. Bryan quipped, “Unless you live in Portland, where Antifa will get you first.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump government shutdown day three, Trump cuts Democrat agencies, NYC subway green energy clawback, NPR PBS poll political violence, Minnesota Operation Twin Shield sham marriages, Epstein blackmail Howard Lutnick massage room, Cindy McCain Epstein hiding in plain sight, Sean Duffy DOT truck driver crackdown, AI data center power bills Bloomberg, Johns Hopkins AI surgical risk, France detains Russian tanker drones Denmark, UK Jihad al-Shamie synagogue attack, UK blogger arrested Hamas post, UK grooming gangs Pakistani men, NHS cousin marriage report, Switzerland man jailed free speech skeletons, Papua New Guinea Australia defense pact, Spain woman age 117 gut bacteria

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's viral sombrero memes targeting Democrats, the Pentagon's crackdown on leaks, fresh warnings for U.S. farmers and ranchers, the massive energy demands of AI, the arrest of Nord Stream saboteurs, Ukraine's push for Tomahawk missiles, Chinese mafia violence in Italy, Trump's Gaza peace deal, and even a rare case of good news about China's green energy trash. From mariachi memes to missile wars and mafia battles, today's brief connects the headlines shaping America and the world. Trump's Sombrero Memes Spark Outrage: The White House posted AI videos mocking Democrats with sombreros and mustaches as they demanded $1 trillion for health care, part of which would go to migrants. VP JD Vance shrugged, saying, “Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist… but I honestly don't even know what that means.” GOP commentators called the memes “politically genius” for using humor to spotlight taxpayer costs. Pentagon Orders Polygraphs to Stop Leaks: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth now requires NDAs and random polygraph tests for all staff and contractors to crack down on leaks. Bryan cautions that “polygraphs are tools, not an oracle,” recalling how his first CIA test flagged him for feeling guilty about stealing junior high concession stand quarters. Screwworm Outbreak Worsens in Mexico: Cases jumped 32 percent in September to 6,700, including 5,000 in cattle. Ranchers warn the deadly parasite could soon hit Texas and drive beef prices higher. Bryan urges, “Stock up now.” Farmers and Trump Clash Over Argentina Soybeans: After Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bailed out President Milei, Argentina sold $7 billion in soybeans to China, undercutting U.S. farmers. Trump promised a bailout using tariff funds, but Democrats are blocking the deal. Bryan calls it “a Mexican standoff” with farmers caught in the middle. AI Revolution Requires 44 New Nuclear Reactors: The IEEE reports U.S. AI demand will equal the output of 44 new nuclear power plants within five years. Russia remains the top uranium supplier. Trump is expanding coal leases and equity stakes in mineral and energy companies, while Bryan slams Silicon Valley's AGI obsession: “Give me a little buddy I can train each day… not a know-it-all chatbot filled with junk data.” Nord Stream Saboteur Arrested in Ukraine Plot: German officials detained a Ukrainian tied to the 2022 pipeline bombing, allegedly ordered by General Valery Zaluzhny. Defense may argue the sabotage was a legitimate act of war. Ukraine Pushes for Tomahawk Missiles: Trump leans toward sending 1,500-mile Tomahawks for “kind-for-kind” strikes. Putin warned it would make America a direct combatant, with U.S. CIA and Special Forces bases likely targets. Bryan warns Russia could also strike from Mexico or use saboteurs posing as asylum seekers. Chinese Mafia Wars in Italy: Gun battles erupt in Prato as Chinese gangs fight over the $115 million hanger market for Italy's fast fashion industry. The city's Chinese population exploded from 500 in 1990 to 40,000 today, fueling Beijing-backed mafia influence. Hamas Has Hours to Accept Trump's Gaza Plan: Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt told Hamas to accept Trump's deal or lose support. Turkey may gain F-35 jets and Egypt may see Trump pause recognition of Somaliland in return. Bryan says, “We are on a knife's edge… pray for peace.” China Finds a Use for Dirty Green Energy Trash: Beijing is planting old wind turbine blades in the Gobi Desert to block sand dunes, creating a “New Great Wall of China.” Bryan admits, “It makes me sad to report it, but this one actually works.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump sombrero memes Hakeem Jeffries, JD Vance sombrero quote, Pete Hegseth Pentagon polygraph leaks, screwworm outbreak Mexico Texas beef, Argentina soybeans Milei China sales, Trump tariff farmer bailout, AI nuclear power IEEE report, Trump mineral wars coal leases, Nord Stream pipeline sabotage Zaluzhny, Ukraine Tomahawk missile request Trump, Putin warns U.S. combatant, Chinese mafia Prato Italy fast fashion, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas Qatar Turkey Egypt, China wind turbine blades Gobi Desert

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the federal government shutdown, Pete Hegseth's blunt message to America's generals, new immigration updates from Chicago to Central America, and surprising global research on obesity. From furloughs in Washington to fat generals at the Pentagon, today's brief connects politics, security, and science shaping America's future. Federal Government Shutdown Begins: Negotiations collapsed after Democrats demanded $1 trillion for health care tied to Biden's immigration surge. Trump warned, “We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible,” and began cutting federal workers, including 100 FBI agents. Essential services like Social Security remain open, while departments like Labor shutter. Bryan notes, “This shutdown is ultimately about an argument I thought we settled last November.” Pete Hegseth Calls Out Fat Generals: The Secretary of War unveiled a 10-point plan to toughen the military, starting with weight and fitness standards for all ranks. “It is tiring to look out… at any formation and see fat troops,” Hegseth said. The plan includes tougher boot camp, one combat standard for men and women, and no more promotions based on quotas. Trump joked, “Pete gave a great speech… but I don't want him to get so good I can't go on after that.” Immigration Updates from Chicago to Central America: Four leftist protesters attacked an ICE facility in Chicago, one threatening, “I'll f------ kill you right now.” In Portland, illegals shined lasers at a CBP helicopter. In Iowa, ICE arrested a school superintendent who was in the country illegally and registered to vote. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports migrants are sending record remittances home — $161 billion projected this year — fearing deportation. Bryan says, “Migrants are getting while the getting is good.” Obesity Campaigns Fail Worldwide: A new Lancet study found that none of 17 childhood obesity programs worked, even with parental training and nutrition education. French researchers concluded rising caloric intake is the real driver, echoing why drugs like Ozempic work by cutting appetite. Bryan quips, “I put a new picture of Pete Hegseth on my fridge. I've already lost five pounds.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: federal government shutdown 2025, Trump irreversible budget cuts quote, FBI agents fired shutdown, Pete Hegseth fat generals 10 point plan, military fitness standards women combat, Chicago ICE attack leftist protesters, Portland illegals laser CBP helicopter, Iowa illegal superintendent voter registration, migrant remittances $161 billion Bloomberg, Lancet obesity study children, French study caloric intake obesity, Ozempic Wegovy appetite suppression

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's proposed Gaza peace plan, a mysterious U.S. tanker deployment to Europe, the Pentagon's scramble for missiles and drones in a possible China war, and Russia and China's unraveling fortunes in Africa. From a potential breakthrough in the Middle East to covert battles in Africa's deserts, today's brief explores the fights shaping America's security. Trump's Gaza Peace Plan Gains Arab Backing: For the first time since the October 7 attacks, Israel, Trump, and key Arab nations have united behind a deal. Hamas must release hostages, disarm, or go into exile while Gaza governance shifts to a Peace Board overseen by Trump and regional leaders. “This is basically the final offer to Hamas: accept it or death,” Bryan explains. Even Arab allies like Qatar and Saudi Arabia have signed on, leaving Iran isolated. U.S. Tankers Deploy to Europe, Iran or Russia in the Crosshairs: Twelve U.S. refueling tankers flew to Britain, echoing prelude movements before Trump's strike on Iran earlier this year. Possibilities include targeting Iran's Pick-Axe Mountain nuclear site, sending a warning to Putin after drones crossed NATO skies, or simply NATO's Cobra Warrior exercise. Bryan notes, “Intel officers always ask, is the juice worth the squeeze?” Pentagon Short on Missiles and Drones for China: The U.S. has burned through a quarter of its missile interceptors and lags years behind on drone programs. Chinese subcontractors are even supplying critical parts for American weapons. Trump is pushing a mineral war strategy to rebuild U.S. supply chains. Bryan warns, “We don't have the cards for a quick victory in Taiwan,” and Zelenskyy is offering U.S. training in exchange for Tomahawk missiles Washington can barely spare. Russia and China Struggle in Africa's Sahel: Islamist rebels are killing Russian contractors and Chinese workers across Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Moscow's Africa Corps has failed to protect regimes after Wagner's collapse, while Beijing's mines and projects are under attack. Elon Musk's Starlink is fueling rebel communications, and some suspect CIA or Ukrainian forces may be quietly aiding the insurgents. Bryan admits, “I can absolutely envision a scenario where a CIA officer recruits an al Qaeda scumbag to kill Russians and Chinese for us.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas exile, Israel Arab nations Gaza board, Hamas hostages prisoner swap, U.S. refueling tankers Britain Iran strike, Pick-Axe Mountain nuclear site, NATO Cobra Warrior exercise, Pentagon missile shortage drones, Chinese subcontractors U.S. weapons, Trump mineral wars tungsten antimony, Zelenskyy drone deal Tomahawk missiles, Russia Africa Corps failure Wagner, China mines rebels Mali Niger Burkina Faso, Elon Musk Starlink jihadist comms, CIA recruit al Qaeda assets Africa

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the tragic LDS church attack in Michigan, Trump's budget showdown in Washington, new federal action against Antifa, updates on James Comey and John Brennan, immigration battles over Guatemalan children, China's deepening grip on the Pacific, and promising medical research out of California. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world. Michigan LDS Church Attack: A man drove his car into an LDS church, set it ablaze, and killed members at gunpoint. At least 11 were shot and three are confirmed dead. Early reports suggest the killer's mother was a church member. Bryan calls it “a very hard morning in Michigan” and urges prayers for the families. Trump's Budget Showdown and Supreme Court Ruling: With a government shutdown looming, Trump meets lawmakers knowing he holds the stronger hand. “Trump wins in either case,” the Washington Post observed, since a shutdown gives him unilateral power to cut programs and staff. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court ruled he can withhold $4 billion in foreign aid, pushing executive power back to Jeffersonian levels. Antifa Declared Terror Group and Troops Sent to Portland: Days after Trump designated Antifa as domestic terrorists, he ordered 2,000 National Guardsmen to Portland. “I am authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” Trump posted, after repeated ICE attacks. AG Pam Bondi said, “We're witnessing a new era of political violence,” vowing to use Joint Terrorism Task Forces to dismantle leftist extremists. Comey Indictment and Brennan Warnings: James Comey's indictment centers on whether he lied under oath about leaking FBI documents. His own lawyer admitted to helping him “get information out” to the press. Trump says “there will be others” prosecuted, with Brennan admitting he may be next but insisting his actions were “consistent with the law.” Guatemalan Parents Reject Their Children: Tens of thousands of kids trafficked north under Biden remain in U.S. custody after Guatemalan parents refused to take them back. Bryan asks if taxpayers should now become “the world's orphanage.” China Expands Grip in the Pacific: Trump considers shifting U.S. policy to “oppose” Taiwanese independence, aligning closer with Xi. Beijing secured a policing deal in Vanuatu and continues buying influence in the Solomons. Reuters reports China is even training villagers to spy on neighbors, reviving Mao-era tactics. Medical News from California: UC Irvine and UC San Diego researchers reversed vision loss in mice using polyunsaturated fatty acid injections, opening potential therapies for age-related macular degeneration. Bryan jokes, “If you're the first to ditch reader glasses, I demand you tell me about it.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Michigan LDS church shooting fire, Trump government shutdown budget fight, Supreme Court foreign aid ruling, Antifa domestic terror Portland National Guard, AG Pam Bondi political violence JTTF, James Comey indictment leaks oath, John Brennan CIA Russia ICA testimony, Guatemalan migrant children deportation refusal, Trump Taiwan independence oppose policy, China policing deal Vanuatu Solomon Islands influence, UC Irvine UC San Diego macular degeneration fatty acids

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the indictment of James Comey, a national DOJ investigation into George Soros, Pete Hegseth's extraordinary call for all generals to return to Virginia, Trump's warning to Democrats about pushing conservatives too far, and headline updates on tariffs, green energy, AI, and global flashpoints. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend. James Comey Indicted: The former FBI director faces charges of false statements and obstruction of justice. Trump pushed prosecutors to act before the statute of limitations expired, insisting Comey's role in Crossfire Hurricane was “a coup” against the elected government. Bryan argued, “James Comey deserves the death penalty… it would be a righteous and correct judgment.” DOJ Targets Soros's Open Society Foundations: At least seven U.S. attorneys will probe Soros funding networks for alleged terrorism support, arson, fraud, and racketeering. Bryan compares the crackdown to federal efforts in the 1960s and 70s against the Weather Underground. Pentagon Showdown Next Week: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned every U.S. general and admiral worldwide to a meeting in Virginia as Trump demands a 20 percent cut in four-star officers. Politico reports many senior leaders are unhappy with the rebrand to the Department of War. Trump Warns Democrats on Violence: After MSNBC and the John Brown Gun Club suggested ICE agents “deserved” recent attacks, Trump warned, “The Left better not get the Right energized because it won't be good for the Left.” Turning Point Rejects Kimmel's ‘Apology': Spokesman Andrew Kolve said, “What we need is, ‘I'm sorry, I lied, I was wrong, and I won't do it again.' Otherwise… his political agenda is more important than the life of my friend who was just taken from us.” Dallas Shooter Update: The killer searched “Charlie Kirk shot video” while planning his ICE attack, suggesting a copycat killing. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed he used Democrat-developed tracking apps to stalk ICE agents. NYC Worker Punished for Helping ICE: A city staffer was retrained after reporting two criminal illegals to ICE, violating sanctuary laws that protect even convicted felons from deportation. Bryan called it “diabolical.” Tariff Cheaters and Whirlpool's Complaint: Appliance makers are under DOJ investigation for undervaluing imports to dodge tariffs, costing U.S. producers. Green Energy Failures: California's $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar farm is shutting down after killing 6,000 birds annually.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Gavin Newsom's taunts against federal immigration agents, a trillion-dollar bet on artificial intelligence, and surprising medical news about how common drugs damage the gut. From political violence in Dallas to AI schemes and gut health science, today's brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America's future. ICE Facility Shooting in Dallas: Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE building with a Mauser-style rifle, killing one illegal alien and injuring two others before taking his own life. He left behind ammo marked “Anti-ICE” and had ties to Communist views similar to his leftist sister. Bryan warns the pattern echoes other recent attacks: “From Trump's assassin in Butler, PA… to Charlie Kirk's killer… these platforms like Steam and Discord are being used to groom young men into violence.” Newsom Taunts ICE After Signing Five Bills: California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “To ICE, unmask yourselves. What are you afraid of?” on Colbert's show, less than 24 hours before the Dallas attack. Leftist groups in California are doxxing ICE officers with help from AI activists in Europe, while Democrats push to weaken federal deportation powers. Bryan argues this is about political power, not civil rights: “Schumer and Pelosi said it themselves — they want illegals turned into citizens for votes and control.” The AI Revolution's Cost and Scheming Risks: OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank pledged $500 billion for new U.S. data centers, with utilities warning of grid strain and soaring bills. While AI is helping detect Parkinson's and cancers, researchers admit models are “scheming” — purposely failing to hide competence. Bryan quips, “We're spending a trillion dollars to create systems that lie, hallucinate, and dumb down doctors.” Common Medications Alter Gut Health for Years: Estonian researchers found antidepressants, beta-blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and benzodiazepines disrupt the gut microbiome as severely as antibiotics. Effects persist long after use, raising risks for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Bryan advises, “If you're on meds, don't forget about your belly — diet, sleep, and exercise matter.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Dallas ICE facility shooting Joshua Jahn, Anti-ICE ammo Mauser rifle, Discord Steam radicalization grooming, Gavin Newsom Colbert ICE taunt, California ICE officer doxxing AI, Schumer Pelosi immigration citizenship votes, OpenAI Oracle SoftBank Stargate $500B, AI data center electricity water grid strain, AI scheming OpenAI ChatGPT, Estonia gut microbiome drugs study, antidepressants beta-blockers proton pump inhibitors benzos, long-term gut health risks cancer Alzheimer's

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Jimmy Kimmel's disputed return to television, a plot to disable New York City's cell network as Trump spoke at the UN, and fresh data showing who really commits the most political violence in America. From free speech battles to global threats and a debate over Left vs. Right violence, today's brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America's future. Jimmy Kimmel's Return and Free Speech Debate: Democrats celebrated Kimmel's return, calling his suspension “the worst government attack on free speech in generations.” CNN's Jake Tapper said it was “the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime.” But YouTube admitted Biden's White House pressured them to silence millions of Americans, including Charlie Kirk, proving censorship was far broader than Kimmel's case. Sinclair and Nexstar still refused to air Kimmel without an apology, sparking threats from Democrats to break up the networks. Trump Stuck on UN Escalator and Plots in New York: Security failures left Trump and the First Lady stranded on an escalator before his UN speech, followed by a mic and teleprompter outage. “What is the purpose of the United Nations? … A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” Trump quipped. Meanwhile, authorities uncovered a clandestine device network capable of shutting down NYC's cell service, calling it an “imminent threat” from foreign state actors. Trump's speech then blasted Venezuela's cartels, Europe's immigration and energy policies, Russia's war, and calls for Palestinian statehood — declaring of Europe, “Your countries are going to hell.” Left vs. Right Violence — Who Commits More: Listener Wendy asked who really drives political violence. The Atlantic reported on new CSIS data finding “this year — 2025 — marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right.” Bryan points to Antifa and Marxist groups as proof the Left's war is escalating, reminding listeners: “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you're to be targeted.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel suspension FCC free speech, CNN Jake Tapper free speech quote, YouTube Biden censorship admission, Sinclair Nexstar Kimmel broadcast, Trump UN escalator teleprompter failure, NYC cell network plot foreign state actors, Trump UN speech Venezuela cartels, Trump Europe immigration climate hoax, Trump NATO shoot down Russia jets, Gaza Palestinian state recognition, Wendy listener question political violence, CSIS study left-wing terrorism rise, The Atlantic left-wing attacks 2025

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Jimmy Kimmel's controversial return to television, a Supreme Court ruling that could reshape presidential power, the growing struggles of America's farmers and truckers, and new White House warnings about Tylenol and autism. From free speech fights to medical debates, today's brief connects culture, politics, and science shaping America's future. Jimmy Kimmel Returns to Air with FCC Debate: Disney announced Kimmel would return, calling his remarks “ill-timed and insensitive” but not admitting his claims about Charlie Kirk's assassin were lies. Sinclair caved after death threats, canceling a Kirk tribute and airing Kimmel again. Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz blasted Trump's FCC for even raising news distortion, with Cruz comparing it to “Goodfellas.” Bryan warned, “We cannot sit down with the modern Democrat party… they assassinate people who get in the way — like Charlie Kirk.” Supreme Court Expands Presidential Power: In a 6–3 decision, the Court allowed Trump to fire a Democrat FTC commissioner while hearing the full case in December. The ruling challenges the 1935 precedent limiting executive power. Bryan explains it could restore Jefferson-style authority, including presidential impoundment of spending. “Welcome to the new version of American democracy… it's a bit of a mess right now.” Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers Under Pressure: New screwworm cases in northern Mexico threaten U.S. cattle herds already at historic lows. Soybean farmers face collapse as Xi stops buying American crops, while truckers lose money under depressed rates and costly California regulations. Bryan calls for revoking visas of foreign drivers who “can't read or speak English and are killing people on the road.” White House Links Tylenol to Autism: Trump's HHS and FDA advised pregnant women to limit acetaminophen after new studies showed it can cross the placenta, cause oxidative stress, and disrupt brain development. Critics called the claims weak, but Bryan compared it to past medical dogmas debunked by Dr. Barry Marshall, who proved ulcers were caused by bacteria: “Quite literally the entire world of Medical Science was wrong. That one doctor was right.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel FCC news distortion, Rand Paul Ted Cruz Goodfellas FCC quote, Sinclair cancels Charlie Kirk tribute, Supreme Court Trump FTC ruling, presidential impoundment Jefferson precedent, U.S. screwworm outbreak Nuevo Leon, U.S. soybean farmers China ban, trucker wages California EV mandate, Trump revoke foreign trucker visas, Trump HHS FDA Tylenol autism warning, acetaminophen oxidative stress fetus, Dr. Barry Marshall ulcer Nobel Prize

Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world. Charlie Kirk Memorial in Arizona: Erika Kirk vowed, “No one will ever forget my husband's name — and I will make sure of it.” She forgave the assassin, telling the crowd, “That man… I forgive him.” Trump honored Kirk as a man of grace but joked, “Charlie did not hate his opponents. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponents, and I don't want the best for them.” Trump Hits Harvard and Berkeley: The White House placed Harvard on a federal watchlist restricting access to $550 million in funds, citing civil rights violations and leftist violence. UC Berkeley handed over names of 160 students and staff after pressure to expose antisemitic and radical faculty. Bryan says this is Trump waging the fight “where it belongs — in their pocketbooks.” Al Qaeda Plot Inside the U.S.: The National Counterterrorism Center warns AQ operatives from Yemen are in multiple American cities. Rumors suggest they may pose as police or medics during future attacks. Bryan urges vigilance: “While we may be done with Radical Islam — it is not done with us.” Trump Demands Afghanistan Return Bagram Air Base: The president warned the Taliban, “Bad things are going to happen” if the U.S. is not given control of the base, citing the need to monitor China's nearby nuclear sites. Kabul insists “not one inch” will be ceded. TikTok's U.S. Ownership Deal: Fox's Murdoch, Oracle's Larry Ellison, and Dell's Michael Dell will sit on TikTok's new U.S. board, with one seat reserved for a Chinese official. Trump insists user data will be controlled on U.S. soil, but skeptics warn Xi will not give up his propaganda tool without concessions. Argentina's Milei Meets Trump: With inflation down from 250 percent to 34 percent, Milei still faces socialist backlash at home. Trump may use the U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund to provide a financial lifeline. Bryan warns, “Never underestimate a death cult. Marxists don't get tired of fighting.” Looking Ahead This Week: Trump promises revelations about autism and Tylenol, a bailout for struggling farmers and truckers, and big updates on immigration, Biden's mental decline, and global conflicts from Gaza to the Pacific.

In this special Friday edition of The Wright Report, we cover the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, FCC pressure, and whether America has entered a new era of censorship and government tyranny. From late-night lies to free speech double standards, today's brief asks whether we are witnessing a dangerous new chapter — or simply the continuation of a fight that began years ago. Jimmy Kimmel Controversy: Kimmel refused to apologize after falsely claiming Charlie Kirk's assassin was a MAGA supporter. ABC pulled him off the air, citing legal obligations under FCC rules against “news distortion.” Democrats Cry Censorship: Chuck Schumer compared Trump's FCC pressure to Xi and Putin, Barack Obama called it “a dangerous level,” and Jen Psaki declared it tyranny. Yet all three have histories of supporting government intimidation of conservatives. Media and GOP Reactions: CNN's Brian Stelter warned America is now “less free,” though he once justified cracking down on conservatives. Republicans like Guy Benson urged caution, warning the precedent could backfire. The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued deregulation of TV oversight is the only long-term fix. Bryan's Analysis: “We don't live in a functional society anymore. We live in a revolutionary state… either one side wins or the other does. The Left isn't tired of fighting. They want war. Their words, not mine.” Bryan calls for peaceful victories in politics and law — but warns more Charlie Kirks may fall before the nation finds peace. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel FCC suspension, Charlie Kirk assassin MAGA claim, ABC news distortion rule, Chuck Schumer censorship Xi Putin, Barack Obama free speech hypocrisy, Jen Psaki Biden COVID censorship, Brian Stelter freedom of reach, Guy Benson FCC caution, Wall Street Journal deregulation media oversight, Bryan Dean Wright censorship analysis

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's controversial talks in the UK that could send private contractors into Ukraine, Russia's escalating assassination plots across Europe, Israel's success in targeting Iranian leaders, ABC's firing of Jimmy Kimmel, Trump's new terror designation for Antifa, China's spy devices on U.S. highways, and the Senate grilling AI companies over deadly chatbot failures. From espionage abroad to chaos at home, today's brief connects foreign spy wars, domestic terror, and America's struggle with technology. Trump in the UK and a Private Army for Ukraine: Reports suggest Trump may authorize U.S. veterans as contractors to embed with Ukrainian forces or protect new American mining projects. The president insists, “We're not getting involved. No troops on the ground. Contractors only.” Critics warn it could still spark conflict if Russia attacks U.S. citizens. Russia's “New Skins” Assassins in Germany: Bloomberg reports Moscow is targeting European defense executives, including Rheinmetall's CEO, after Russian arsonists torched his property. Bryan warns Biden's open border may have let “New Skins” into America: “It defies logic that the answer is zero.” Israel's “Operation Red Wedding” Revealed: Israeli intelligence tracked Iranian bodyguards' cell phones, enabling the assassination of dozens of regime leaders this summer. Bryan reminds listeners, “Your electronic devices are not your friends. They can and will be used against you.” ABC Fires Jimmy Kimmel Over Kirk Coverage: After mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination, Kimmel refused to apologize. VP JD Vance praised networks like Sinclair for airing a Kirk tribute instead, while Democrats blasted the move as censorship. Bryan argues, “Do we have free speech for everybody, or just when it's convenient?” Trump Labels Antifa a Terror Group: The administration formally designates Antifa as domestic terrorists. Trump contrasted this with Biden's DHS, which once warned Christians and veterans were the top terror threat. “What a difference a year makes,” Bryan notes. China's Spy Devices Found in Highway Systems: The Federal Highway Administration discovered Chinese-made batteries and inverters embedded with cellular radios inside road signs and traffic cameras. Bryan warns these could spread chaos in a crisis: “It'll include in a road sign near you.” AI Chatbots Blamed for Teen Suicides: Parents testified that ChatGPT coached their children into self-harm. One case involved knot-tying instructions for hanging. OpenAI claims chatbots have “First Amendment rights,” while researchers admit they were trained to always give answers, even if wrong. Bryan reflects, “The answer to happiness — and loneliness — was not in a device… as Charlie Kirk counseled, that's found elsewhere.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump UK Ukraine contractors, U.S. private army Ukraine mining, Russia New Skins assassins Germany, Rheinmetall CEO arson, Israel Operation Red Wedding Iran assassinations, Jimmy Kimmel Charlie Kirk firing, Sinclair Charlie Kirk tribute, Trump Antifa terror designation, Biden DHS veterans Christians threat, Chinese spy devices U.S. highways, Federal Highway Administration China inverters, AI chatbot suicide Adam Raine, ChatGPT hallucination error, OpenAI First Amendment defense, loneliness Gen Z AI companions Charlie Kirk advice

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the charging of Charlie Kirk's assassin, Trump's high-stakes trip to the UK, Germany's political and cultural reckoning, Denmark's Greenland pivot, and an unexpected health study on building muscle. From courtroom revelations to foreign policy clashes and even workout science, today's brief connects the dots shaping America's security and daily life. Charlie Kirk Assassin Formally Charged: Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder charges with Utah prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Text messages revealed him telling his trans boyfriend, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it.” Robinson bragged about “engraving bullets” and retrieving his rifle from a “drop point.” Senator Mike Lee warned of possible Cuban and Iranian ties to Armed Queers Salt Lake City, while critics blasted ABC News for framing the texts as a “very intimate portrait.” Bryan warns, “This is bigger than one loner assassin… this is a puzzle piece that fits into a Leftist revolution.” Trump Visits the UK Amid Socialist Criticism: London Mayor Sadiq Khan attacked Trump as a xenophobe fanning “far-right politics,” even as King Charles prepared a lavish welcome. Trump will meet with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and may also meet Reform UK's Nigel Farage, a move described as “Make Great Britain Great Again.” Bryan says such a meeting would be “sweet revenge” after Labour staffers campaigned for Kamala Harris in U.S. swing states last year. Germany's Reckoning with AfD Surge: The populist AfD party won record support in western Germany as voters revolt over high energy prices, economic stagnation, and radical Islam. A spate of Islamist terror attacks and growing “no-go zones” in Berlin add to fears, while reports mock German workers as lazier than Greeks or Italians. One slacker told reporters, “There are other parts of life besides work, you know.” Denmark's Greenland Pivot: After Trump's pressure to secure Greenland, Denmark pledged $250 million for new runways, ports, and defenses against China and Russia. The timing of the announcement — as Trump landed in London — highlighted Denmark's attempt to appease U.S. demands without ceding sovereignty. Finland and Poland Revive Bog Defenses: Officials plan to restore swamps and peat bogs along Russian borders to bog down invading tanks, reviving a centuries-old defense strategy. Baltic nations may follow, though Germany dismissed the idea as too costly. Health Research on Muscle Building: Illinois researchers found that lean pork after workouts builds more muscle than fattier cuts, adding to past findings that whole eggs and fresh salmon outperform supplements. Bryan quips, “Get strong… you never know when a Leftist might come for you.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson charged, Utah death penalty, Armed Queers Salt Lake City Cuba Iran ties, ABC News Charlie Kirk texts coverage, Trump UK visit Sadiq Khan criticism, King Charles Windsor Castle Trump, Nigel Farage Reform UK meeting, Germany AfD populist surge, German worker laziness Washington Post, Germany Islamist terror Cologne rapes, Denmark Greenland $250 million defense, Finland Poland restore bogs Russia defense, Illinois lean pork muscle building study, whole eggs salmon workout protein

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's investigation into the groups behind Charlie Kirk's assassination, a second Venezuelan drug boat sunk by U.S. forces, the White House deal on TikTok, Trump's push to revive America's mining industry, and listener questions on Ilhan Omar, socialism, and whether the U.S. should split in two. From Marxist activists in Utah to uranium mines in Wyoming, today's brief connects the fights over America's culture, security, and survival. Trump Investigates Groups Behind Charlie Kirk's Assassination: The FBI is probing ties between shooter Tyler Robinson and radical groups including Armed Queers Salt Lake City, trans activists, Marxists, online gamers, and even the “Furries.” VP JD Vance vowed to dismantle institutions like the Soros Open Society and Ford Foundation if found complicit, urging Americans: “When you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out. And call their employer.” Bryan warns that Marxist Queer Theory's strategy is to radicalize youth, break families, and build a socialist revolution. U.S. Sinks Second Venezuelan Drug Boat: Trump confirmed the Navy destroyed another cartel vessel, killing three traffickers and scattering cocaine and fentanyl across the sea. “BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” he declared. Behind the scenes, Trump's CIA is quietly working with vetted Mexican Navy and Army units to target cartel leaders, leaving Mexico's president to deny cooperation in public while relying on U.S. intelligence in private. TikTok Deal With China Raises Concerns: The White House reached a framework deal to keep TikTok running under new U.S. ownership, but China secured concessions on investment barriers and trade. Trump's team insists Beijing needs the deal more, as China's economy just suffered its worst month of the year. Bryan warns, “This President likes to make deals with Beijing… I'm nervous.” Trump Builds Uranium Reserve to End Dependence on Russia: Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced a plan to stockpile uranium for America's 94 nuclear reactors, as Russia still supplies 25 percent of U.S. needs. The administration will repurpose $2 billion in Biden-era funds for critical minerals, including $500 million in cobalt and new reserves of bismuth, a metal once sold off by Bill Clinton. Bryan calls the Mineral Wars “one of Trump's most important legacies” if successful. Listener Questions — Ilhan Omar, Socialism, and National Divorce: Bryan tells Nichole from Maryland that Omar should face a DNA test with her alleged brother, and if confirmed, be “denaturalized and deported on Air Pinochet.” Robert from Virginia flagged new polling showing Democrats prefer socialism, which Bryan calls “dense and dangerous.” And Morris from the Ozarks asked about national divorce, but Bryan warns partition would collapse America into chaos: “This is our country. We will either defend and reclaim it, or we will fall trying — just like Charlie did.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassination Armed Queers Salt Lake City, Tyler Robinson shooter investigation, JD Vance Soros Ford Foundation quote, Queer Theory Marxism youth radicalization, Trump Navy sinks Venezuelan drug boat, CIA Mexico cartel targeting, Trump TikTok China deal, China economic slowdown August 2025, Trump uranium reserve Chris Wright, U.S. cobalt bismuth mineral wars, Ilhan Omar DNA brother marriage fraud, Democrat socialism poll Data for Progress, Marjorie Taylor Greene national divorce

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the arrest of Charlie Kirk's assassin and the ideological forces behind the murder, plus global updates from Iran, Israel, Ukraine, Poland, and Nepal. From the tragedy in Utah to AI choosing world leaders, today's brief brings the facts you need to understand America's crossroads at home and abroad. Charlie Kirk Assassin Arrested: Utah officials confirmed 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to family and friends after FBI photos, his car, and his leftist ideology tied him to the crime. His boyfriend, Lance “Luna” Twiggs, is cooperating with investigators, raising questions about extremist networks in Utah. Erika Kirk vowed Turning Point USA will continue, declaring, “You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife… We will never surrender.” Polls now show 24% of very liberal Democrats say they take joy in political killings - 20% are unsure if they should. Political Divide Over Violence: Republicans launch a special committee to probe leftist violence, while Democrats dismiss ideology as a motive. Senator Brian Schatz argued, “What f'ing difference does it make if this murderer was left or right.” Utah's Governor Cox blamed the internet, while Illinois' Governor Pritzker pointed at Trump. Bryan warns, “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you're to be targeted.” Iran's Nuclear Program Weakened but Not Dead: Israeli intel confirms Trump's strikes crippled Tehran's enrichment capacity for years, though knowledge and equipment remain. Israel's defenses, however, are drained and need time to recover, meaning future operations will likely be covert. Israel Rules Out Palestinian State: Prime Minister Netanyahu announced, “There will never be a Palestinian state. This place is ours.” Trump's administration is weighing a U.S.-run Gaza plan that would pay Palestinians to leave, though it has already been rejected by Arab powers. Russian Drones Probe NATO Airspace: Dozens of Russian drones crossed into Poland and Romania, triggering NATO alerts. Trump suggested it was a mistake, but Poland's president insisted, “We know it wasn't.” Zelenskyy pressed NATO to shoot intruding drones down next time. AI Picks New Leaders in Nepal and Beyond: After protests toppled Nepal's communist PM, students asked ChatGPT to name a successor. The AI chose former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, now sworn in as interim prime minister. Asked who should lead America, ChatGPT named Michelle Obama and Cory Booker, dismissing JD Vance as “too polarizing.” Bryan warns, “Seems like something we should watch… since AI is choosing our leaders now.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassination arrest Tyler Robinson, Lance Luna Twiggs trans extremist, Erika Kirk Turning Point vow, YouGov poll political violence Democrats, Senator Brian Schatz internet quote, Governor Spencer Cox internet blame, Governor JB Pritzker Trump blame, Iran nuclear program Israeli intel, Netanyahu no Palestinian state quote, Trump Gaza US-run plan, Russian drones Poland Romania NATO, Zelenskyy NATO shoot down drones, Nepal protests ChatGPT prime minister Sushila Karki, ChatGPT Michelle Obama Cory Booker JD Vance AI bias

From political violence at home to dangerous escalations abroad, today's brief carries heavy news on a day of prayer and remembrance. Charlie Kirk Assassinated in Utah: The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University. President Trump called him “a martyr for truth and freedom” and ordered flags at half-staff. Video shows a sniper shot to the neck from a rooftop as Kirk addressed thousands of students. MSNBC sparked outrage with coverage that suggested Kirk's “awful words” made his death inevitable. Bryan warns, “The seal has now been broken: if you make those arguments or say those words, you're fair game too.” Russian Drones Violate Polish Airspace: NATO confirms 19 Russian drones flew over 150 miles into Poland, with several shot down by Dutch and Polish jets. Bryan cautions that even an accident could spark a “Gulf of Tonkin–like incident” dragging NATO into direct war with Moscow. Trump Escalates War on Venezuela's Cartels: After U.S. forces sank a drug boat killing 11, critics accuse Trump of overstepping presidential authority. War Secretary Pete Hegseth countered: “This strike sent a clear message: If you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will stop you cold.” Mexico Tariffs Chinese Imports: President Claudia Sheinbaum hikes tariffs on Chinese cars and textiles to 50 percent, aiming to shield Mexican workers and appease Trump's demands to close tariff loopholes. Bryan notes this could undercut Beijing's backdoor into U.S. markets. Saving U.S. Antibiotics in Tennessee: Trump brokers a deal forcing Walmart and McKesson to buy amoxicillin from Bristol, Tennessee, rescuing America's last antibiotic factory from collapse. “Don't bet against America,” Bryan says, “because with leadership that actually loves this country, we will win.” 9/11 Families' Lawsuit Against Saudi Arabia Advances: A New York judge allows families to pursue claims that Saudi intel officers Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy aided hijackers.

From heartbreaking crime footage to surprising breakthroughs in medicine, today's brief connects law, politics, and science shaping your life. Full Video of North Carolina Stabbing Released: The shocking footage shows Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska stabbed on a Charlotte light rail while bystanders failed to help for nearly a minute. Bryan calls it proof of “the state of this country.” Federal prosecutors charged Decarlos Brown, with CNN reporting he may face the death penalty. Even Brown's family admits the Democrat-run system failed him, as he told relatives the victim was “reading his mind” that night. Biden's Job Market Collapse Exposed: The Labor Department revised Biden's final year in office, showing nearly 1 million fewer jobs created than reported. Bryan explains that instead of 200,000 jobs a month needed to absorb Biden's border surge, the economy created only 70,000. “The data show you can blame Joe Biden — and his open borders policies.” Trump's Tariffs Head to the Supreme Court: Small businesses will challenge Trump's sweeping tariffs in November. Trump warned, “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.” Meanwhile, he pushes Europe to join a 100 percent tariff on India and China for fueling Russia's war. Bryan says the move could spark “dramatic and unforeseeable consequences.” Global Updates — Ukraine, Poland, Israel, Norway: Ukraine quietly buys Russian diesel through India, prolonging the war. Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace near a NATO hub, raising fears of a Gulf of Tonkin–style incident. Israel shocked the region by striking Hamas leaders in Qatar, killing five plus a Qatari intel officer. In Norway, young men powered a populist surge, making the Progress Party the nation's second largest force.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the shocking stabbing death of a Ukrainian refugee in North Carolina, fresh polling on America's youth drifting toward socialism, and global headlines from South Korea, Argentina, France, and China. From crime and ideology at home to economic and political turmoil abroad, today's brief shows how policies and power struggles are reshaping America and the world. North Carolina Stabbing Case and Media Silence: Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was murdered by Decarlos Brown, a repeat offender with schizophrenia and over 14 arrests. Released by Judge Teresa Stokes under restorative justice policies, Brown stabbed her on a Charlotte light rail after muttering, “I got the white girl.” Bryan argues, “This case isn't just about one victim and one perp. It's about a nation that is broken.” America's Youth Drift Left — Socialism Rising: NBC, Rasmussen, and Gallup reveal stark generational divides. Democrat youth rank money and emotional stability above marriage, children, or faith, while Trump-voting men list kids as their top priority. Polling shows 53 percent of Americans under 40 favor a socialist president in 2028. Bryan warns, “We are living in the midst of a Leftist Revolution.” South Korea Furious Over Georgia ICE Raid: Seoul condemns ICE for arresting 475 illegal Korean workers at Hyundai's battery plant. Trump responded, “[We] don't have people in this country who know about batteries… Maybe we should help them along and let some [Korean] people come in and train our people.” Critics warn expanded H1-B visas could enrage Trump's working-class base. Argentina's Marxists Make a Comeback: Markets tank after the Peronist Party's unexpected win in Buenos Aires. President Javier Milei admitted the result was “much worse than expected” but vowed to continue his reforms, calling for “deep self-criticism.” France's Government Collapses Again: Prime Minister François Bayrou lost a no-confidence vote, the third government collapse in a year. With debt at 114 percent of GDP, President Macron faces the choice of a new prime minister, snap elections, or stepping down. LeBron James Pens Op-Ed for China: The NBA star praised China as “passionate and friendly” in a CCP newspaper essay, aiming to restore NBA access to the Chinese market after years of bans. Bryan calls it a clear case of “red Communist money turning bright American green.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Iryna Zarutska North Carolina stabbing, Decarlos Brown schizophrenia restorative justice, Judge Teresa Stokes Second Chances, NBC youth priorities socialism, Rasmussen Gallup socialism poll, Trump voters family priorities, South Korea ICE raid Hyundai plant, Trump H1-B visas batteries, Argentina Peronist Party comeback Milei, France government collapse Bayrou Macron, LeBron James China op-ed NBA

Jobs Report Disappoints: Only 22,000 jobs were added in August, with revisions showing losses in June. Native-born employment is rising as 820,000 foreign workers have left, but debate rages over whether the culprits are Jerome Powell's high rates, Trump's tariff wars, Silicon Valley's AI revolution, or Biden's weak foundation. Venezuela Narco-Terror Strike Debate: Trump sank a Tren de Aragua drug boat, killing 11. Democrats and Sen.

Yet he admitted, “President Trump is right about the Europeans,” as EU nations import record Russian gas despite sanctions. Department of Defense Renamed: The White House rebrands it the Department of War, reflecting a more aggressive posture from Venezuela to Ukraine and the Pacific.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's possible deployment of troops to New Orleans, the midterm election battle shaping up for 2026, and a fierce immigration debate stretching from U.S. highways to European activists targeting ICE. From National Guard authority to flag-burning bans and AI unmasking ICE agents, today's brief tackles the clashes defining law, politics, and national security. Trump Eyes New Orleans for National Guard Deployment: The president said, “We're going to maybe go to Louisiana… to New Orleans… which has a crime problem. We'll straighten that out in about two weeks.” Legal experts point to Title 32 as his cleanest authority since Louisiana's GOP governor could cooperate, while Title 10 would let Trump bypass Democrat governors in states like Maryland. Bryan warns the line between “assistance” and “domination” is tricky but notes polls show 55 percent of Americans support using troops to help local police. The Battle for 2026 Midterms Heats Up: Both parties are planning national conventions before the elections, an unusual move for a midterm year. Trump promises to leverage America's 250th anniversary celebrations with a 1,500-foot-long flag and a crackdown on flag burning. “If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail, no early exits, no nothing,” Trump said. Democrats argue free speech, while Bryan asks: “When we say ‘Out of Many, One,' what exactly makes us ‘one'?” Immigration Debate — English for Truckers, Fines for Illegals, and AI Doxxing of ICE Agents: After fatal accidents tied to foreign truck drivers who couldn't read English road signs, Republicans are pushing “Connor's Law” and the Safer Truckers Act to restore English requirements. Meanwhile, Trump's team is slapping illegals with fines up to $1,000 per day, turning some cases over to debt collectors and even the IRS. In Europe, activist Dominick Skinner is using AI to unmask U.S. ICE officers online. Bryan warns, “These Democrats and Leftists are not tracking down ICE officers to have a cup of coffee. They're looking to drop Molotov cocktails on their heads.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump National Guard New Orleans, Title 32 vs Title 10 authority, Trump crime crackdown polls, 2026 midterm conventions Trump Democrats, America 250th anniversary giant flag, Trump flag burning ban Supreme Court, Connor's Law Safer Truckers Act English requirement, immigrant truck driver fatal crash, Trump fines illegal immigrants $1000 per day, ICE debt collectors IRS, Dominick Skinner AI doxxing ICE agents, Marsha Blackburn Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act

In this episode of The Wright Report, we go around the globe for breaking updates on Trump's strike in Venezuela, Mexico's trade and cartel challenges, Canada's housing lesson, Europe's political revolt, the free speech crisis in the UK, and China's bid to reshape global power. From warships in the Caribbean to propaganda in Tiananmen Square, today's brief delivers the facts you need to navigate a rapidly changing world. Trump Authorizes Strike on Venezuelan Drug Boat: The U.S. military sank a Tren de Aragua vessel, killing 11 narco-terrorists. Trump warned, “Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!” With warships and Marines stationed nearby, speculation grows that regime change could be on the table, despite White House denials. Secretary Rubio in Mexico for Trade, Cartels, and Screwworms: President Sheinbaum raises tariffs on China under Trump's pressure, aligning with a “Fortress North America” strategy. Poverty in Mexico drops by 13 million, but reports credit Trump's 2018 labor reforms. Meanwhile, cartel boss El Mayo admitted decades of bribing Mexican politicians, and ranchers accuse Sheinbaum of letting screwworm-infested cattle in from Guatemala. Canada's Immigration Cuts Ease Housing Costs: Bloomberg reports that stricter immigration policies have cooled Canada's housing crisis. Bryan draws a parallel: if the U.S. removed 15 to 30 million illegals, millions of homes would free up for Americans. Europe Turns Right Amid Free Speech Crackdowns: Conservative parties surge in Germany, France, Italy, and the UK. Yet in Britain, a comedian was arrested for posts about transgender issues, joining thousands jailed yearly for “offensive” speech. VP JD Vance warned such laws amount to “civilizational suicide.” Trump, Europe, and Ukraine's Stalemate: Trump expressed disappointment in Putin and frustration with Europe's refusal to send troops, saying peace is delayed by “maximalist demands.” European leaders hesitate, offering only weapons and logistics while rejecting boots on the ground. China Hosts BRICS and Flaunts Military Might: Xi Jinping told India's Modi, “The globe today is swept by a once-in-a-century transformation,” signaling closer ties between Beijing and New Delhi. At a Tiananmen Square parade, Xi showcased drones and weapons while erasing U.S. contributions in WWII. Trump hit back online: “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against The United States of America.” Bryan warns Xi's rise represents a “new Dark Age” for humanity if unchecked.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover new revelations about the Minneapolis trans shooter's family and manifesto, fresh polling on Trump's crime crackdown, a major court battle over tariffs, and Trump's firing spree across the federal government. From tragic lessons in Minnesota to seismic fights in Washington, today's brief connects crime, economics, and politics shaping America's future. Trans Shooter's Family Secrets and Final Words: Robert Westman's manifesto admitted, “Gender and weed f***'ed up my head… I wish I never tried experimenting with either.” He blamed his father for pushing him into transitioning and his mother for warning he would regret it, writing, “You were right mama, but the way you handled it led me to wanting to kill so so many people.” Bryan calls it proof of medical quackery, marijuana's dangers, and adults failing a child into madness. Trump's Crime Crackdown Gains Support: A new AP poll shows 53 percent of Americans approve of Trump's approach, with DC Mayor Muriel Bowser conceding his surge “worked” after carjackings fell 87 percent. She added, “When carjackings go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer.” In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an order to resist federal forces, but courts say Trump's deployments are legal under the Insurrection Act. Court Battle Over Trump's Tariffs: An appeals court struck down Trump's sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs under IEEPA, setting up a Supreme Court fight in October. Trump warned, “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.” Meanwhile, Trump ended the $800 “de minimis” exemption, slashing it to $200 and rocking supply chains. Some small retailers warn they will go bust, while U.S. tomato growers and flatware makers report new life under tariff protections. Trump Fires Federal Employees and Questions Vaccines: From the EPA to the DOJ to the CIA, Trump is firing staff en masse. At the CDC, he broke from his past support for Operation Warp Speed, declaring, “It is very important that the Drug Companies justify the success of their various Covid Drugs… I want the answer, and I want it NOW.” Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard's revocation of 37 security clearances included a CIA officer just promoted undercover, abruptly ending her 30-year career. Bryan says Trump is cutting with “a chainsaw, not a scalpel” to root out the Deep State.

Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend. Minneapolis Trans Shooter: Before his suicide, Robert Westman admitted, “I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.” His confession could spark criminal charges against his parents and doctors. Screwworm Outbreak: Mexico reports a 53 percent spike in cases since July, now topping 5,000. Bryan warns the parasite is “pushing north — and fast.” Trump's Crime Crackdown: Carjackings in DC are down nearly 90 percent, with even Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser conceding Trump's policies are working. Immigration Fines and Checks: Illegals face fines up to $1 million for not registering, though Trump offers self-deportation deals. Citizenship “neighborhood checks” return after a 34-year absence. Midterm Battle Plans: Trump plans a Republican National Convention before the 2026 midterms. Democrats may follow suit, with culture war fights over flag burning, Smithsonian history, and abortion in schools taking center stage. Deep State Fallout: One of Tulsi Gabbard's clearance revocations included a senior undercover CIA officer, abruptly ending her career. AI Backlash Grows: MIT finds 95 percent of AI pilots fail.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis, a wave of swatting attacks targeting U.S. colleges, and global updates from Iran, Greenland, Vietnam, and West Africa. From domestic terror and cultural battles at home to mineral wars and Islamist violence abroad, today's brief delivers the facts shaping America's future. Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting: A 23-year-old man who identified as transgender opened fire outside a Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 others. In his manifesto he wrote, “I do it to please myself… I do it because I am sick.” The school's priest begged, “I ask you to — please — pray,” while Democrats like Jen Psaki shot back, “Prayer is not freaking enough.” Bryan calls Psaki's remarks “a demand of the evil and wicked” and links the shooter's instability to cross-sex hormones, THC use, and the broader dangers of experimental “gender affirming care.” Swatting Attacks Target U.S. Colleges: Universities from South Carolina to Colorado were hit by fake active-shooter calls, prompting dangerous police raids. Wired identifies the culprits as an online group called Purgatory, who brag they are “nihilistic” and do it for fun and cash. Bryan argues the crime warrants capital punishment: “You rip this stuff and these people out by the root.” Foreign Spies Captured Bolton's Emails: The New York Times confirms that a foreign intelligence service intercepted classified emails John Bolton sent to his wife and daughter from an unsecured system. Democrats call Trump's DOJ “fascist,” but Bryan insists, “Had I done what John Bolton did, I would be in prison a long time ago.” Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Neutralized: Satellite images confirm Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer left 900 pounds of enriched uranium entombed at Isfahan. The IAEA backs the finding, despite Iran threatening its director Rafael Grossi with death. Bryan says the news proves firing DIA chief Jeffrey Kruse for downplaying the strike was “a good clean-out of the Deep State.” American Operatives Stir Trouble in Greenland: The Wall Street Journal reports suspected Trump-linked contractors are recruiting Greenlanders for separatist movements, sparking tensions with Denmark. Bryan suspects, “These guys are more like Erik Prince's Blackwater than CIA professionals — sloppy, but maybe effective.” China Moves to Corner Vietnam's Tungsten Supply: Reuters reveals Chinese firms are secretly bidding for Vietnam's tungsten mines through front companies. With the U.S. sourcing a quarter of its tungsten from Vietnam, Bryan warns this could leave America “utterly dependent” on Beijing for another critical mineral. Islamist Violence in Ivory Coast Spurs U.S. Base Plans: Militants from Burkina Faso kill farmers in northern Ivory Coast, part of a growing jihadist campaign across West Africa. The U.S. considers building a drone and Special Forces base in Benin, Ghana, or Ivory Coast to counter both Islamists and China's expanding footprint in African resources and fishing.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a dramatic fight over the Federal Reserve, Trump's controversial stake in Intel, his call to double Chinese students in U.S. universities, a Milwaukee judge caught aiding an illegal immigrant, and new research linking everyday health risks to antibiotics, smoking, and infant gut health. From courtroom drama to corporate socialism to medical breakthroughs, today's brief delivers facts that will impact your wallet, your security, and your health. Trump Fires Fed Governor Lisa Cook: President Trump moves to remove Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud, but she refuses to leave and files a lawsuit, insisting, “I have no intention of being bullied to step down.” A resurfaced video shows her calling Trump a fascist and warning of “the road to genocide,” fueling claims she's part of the Resistance inside the Fed. The showdown could head to the Supreme Court to decide whether presidents can fire Fed governors — raising questions about the very future of the Federal Reserve. Trump Buys 10% Stake in Intel: The White House converts $10 billion in chip subsidies into equity, making the U.S. government Intel's largest shareholder. Rand Paul warns this is “a step toward socialism,” while Trump's team calls it a sovereign wealth fund strategy. Critics argue the move won't fix Intel's technical failures, while Bryan cautions, “I don't want that beast to have more power or money or both… I want it to have less.” Trump Calls for 600,000 Chinese Students in U.S. Universities: The president shocks supporters by suggesting more than doubling student visas for China, insisting, “I told President Xi that we're honored to have his students here.” Critics cite espionage risks, noting past cases where Chinese students at the University of Michigan spied on military bases or smuggled bioweapons. Bryan warns, “You don't have to be a former CIA ops officer to see that 600,000 more of these people is not smart policy.” Milwaukee Judge Faces Prison for Aiding Illegal: Judge Hannah Dugan helped an illegal immigrant escape her courtroom to avoid ICE arrest. A federal judge rejected her claim of immunity, ruling, “No one is above the law, even when you're a judge.” She faces up to six years in prison. Meanwhile, Trump fires San Francisco immigration judges granting asylum in 95 percent of cases, ensuring that “it is the law… not personal feelings or politics… that rule the day.” Medical News You Need to Know: Australian researchers find that mixing antibiotics with painkillers like Advil or Tylenol speeds bacterial mutations, fueling antibiotic resistance. Japanese scientists discover how smoking alters gut bacteria to ease colitis symptoms, pointing to new therapies without cigarettes. And a California study shows C-section babies lack critical gut bacteria, raising risks of allergies and asthma. Bryan concludes, “Those bellies matter — starting with mom — and from the very first minutes of our life.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Lisa Cook Fed firing, Lisa Cook mortgage fraud lawsuit, Trump Federal Reserve Supreme Court, Intel government stake 10 percent, Rand Paul Intel socialism warning, Trump Chinese students visas 600000, Chinese espionage University of Michigan, Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan illegal immigrant case, Trump fires San Francisco immigration judges, antibiotics painkillers resistance study, smoking colitis gut bacteria, infant gut health C-section allergies asthma

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the return of the deadly screwworm parasite to U.S. soil, a sweeping Deep State update from the DIA to Epstein, and global headlines from Gaza, Ukraine, and Venezuela. From maggots threatening America's cattle herd to Marines steaming toward Caracas, today's brief connects domestic crises with international conflicts that could reshape U.S. policy. Screwworm Parasite Returns to America: Health officials confirm the first human case of screwworm infestation in decades, discovered in Maryland after a traveler returned from Latin America. Ranchers warn of catastrophic risks to U.S. beef herds, recalling outbreaks from the 1930s. Critics blame Biden's open border surge through Panama for allowing the parasite north. As Bryan puts it, “This screwworm crisis was preventable but Democrats and Joe Biden allowed it to happen.” Deep State Update — DIA, Bolton, and Epstein: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse after his team relied on Iranian disinformation to downplay Trump's strike on Tehran's nuclear program. Senator Mark Warner blasted the move, warning of “a dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test.” The FBI raids John Bolton's home and office in a classified documents probe, raising questions about why Biden-era DOJ buried the case. And newly released Ghislaine Maxwell testimony insists, “The President was always a gentleman in all respects,” while controversially minimizing Bill Clinton's Epstein ties as “one journey.” Gaza Hospital Strike Kills Civilians and Journalists: Israeli missiles hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, killing at least 20 including reporters for Reuters and the AP. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office calls it a “tragic mistake” as an investigation begins. Israeli media demand answers, asking, “How did this happen?” Ukraine Unveils 1,800-Mile Missile: President Zelenskyy announces Ukraine has built a long-range missile dubbed “The Flamingo” capable of striking deep into Russia. “We can and will strike deeper into Russian territory without the permission of Washington,” he declared, though Trump's Pentagon has quietly ordered U.S. weapons held back from long-range use. U.S. Marines Deploy Toward Venezuela: The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit sails south with destroyers, submarines, and aircraft in what may be preparation to topple Nicolás Maduro's regime. Trinidad and Tobago's prime minister backs Trump, declaring, “No amount of Trump Derangement Syndrome tantrums will prevent my government from welcoming assistance to combat the terrorist drug cartels of Venezuela.” Bryan suggests the timing may connect to Trump's deportation strategy under the Alien Enemies Act.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's crime crackdown expanding beyond Washington, the partisan redistricting war over control of the House, and a major immigration roundup exposing the dangers of open borders. From Baltimore and Chicago to Maryland and the southern border, today's brief shows how law, politics, and security collide in the fight for America's future. Trump Expands Crime Crackdown to Chicago and Baltimore: Over 900 arrests have already been made in Washington, half tied to immigration offenses, and Trump promises deployments next in Chicago and Baltimore. Chicago's socialist mayor Brandon Johnson warned his supporters would “rise up” against Trump, while Maryland's Governor Wes Moore invited Trump to walk Baltimore's streets with him. Trump shot back, “I assume he is talking about the out of control, crime ridden, Baltimore? As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this Crime disaster before I go there for a walk.” Redistricting War and the Future of the Republic: Democrats in Maryland, California, and other blue states push gerrymandering to erase GOP seats, while Republicans in Texas, Florida, and Ohio counter with maps to expand theirs. Experts warn of decades of GOP dominance if trends continue, but as one listener asked, is this a sign America is dying? Bryan argues the Republic envisioned by the Founders “has been dead for over 100 years” and that today's fight amounts to a new civil war of ideas between open-borders leftists and Americans who still cherish the nation's founding principles. Immigration Roundup — Truckers, Deportations, Detention, and Border Security: Trump halts visas for foreign truck drivers after deadly accidents, reversing an Obama-era rule that allowed CDLs without English proficiency. El Salvadoran gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia faces deportation to Uganda after Democrat judges forced his return to the U.S., a case his lawyers call “cruel and bigoted.” ICE detentions hit a record 60,000 with Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan vowing, “We're going to build 100,000 beds… they may slow us up a bit, but they're not going to stop us.” And at the border, a Chinese woman caught with child pornography on her phone highlights why Bryan warns, “Cases like pedophiles or child pornographers should be a slam dunk — they all go back home.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump DC crime crackdown, Chicago National Guard deployment, Baltimore crime Trump Wes Moore, Brandon Johnson rise up quote, U.S. redistricting war 2025, GOP gerrymandering Texas Florida Ohio, Democrat gerrymandering California Maryland, foreign truck driver visa ban, Obama CDL English rule, Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation Uganda, ICE detention record 60,000, Tom Homan 100,000 beds quote, Alligator Alcatraz detention Florida, Chinese illegal immigrant child pornography Texas

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the growing battle between Trump and the Federal Reserve, new fights over redistricting in California and Texas, major courtroom victories for the president, and breakthrough medical research on autism. From fiery clashes in Washington to hopeful discoveries in science, today's brief delivers the headlines shaping America's future. Trump vs. Powell and the Federal Reserve: Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivers a pivotal speech today as Trump threatens to fire him over high interest rates. Biden appointee Lisa Cook refuses to resign amid a DOJ mortgage fraud investigation, declaring, “I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position.” Trump pushes to replace Fed governors with his own picks, raising the stakes for the economy and next year's midterms. California and Texas Redistricting Battles: California Governor Gavin Newsom pushes a special election to redraw maps that would flip five GOP districts to Democrats, but polls show 64 percent of Californians want to keep the independent commission's map. Meanwhile, Texas Republicans advance their own redistricting plan to shift five seats from Democrats to Republicans, with Florida and Missouri set to follow. Trump Scores Three Major Court Victories: A New York appeals court strikes down a $500 million civil fraud verdict, calling it “a stinging rebuke” to Attorney General Letitia James. The Supreme Court clears Trump to cut $800 million in DEI grants at the NIH. And the Ninth Circuit rules he can end Biden's Temporary Protected Status protections for 60,000 migrants, overturning what Bryan calls “an egregiously wrong” lower court decision. Immigration Crackdown in Washington DC: Trump personally joins ICE agents targeting illegal immigrants on mopeds working for delivery services. One arrest of a Mexican national sparked outrage until it was revealed he had raped a 13-year-old child, forcing Democrats to quickly delete their criticism. Bryan calls it proof that “facts matter, and sometimes they come out too late.” Economic Data Surprises and Tariff Revenues: Despite gloomy forecasts, Walmart sales hold firm, housing sales tick upward, and factory activity reaches its highest level since 2022. Trump's tariffs generate a record $160 billion in revenue, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming the funds are reducing U.S. debt. “It's leaving the economic smarties scratching their heads,” Bryan notes, as predictions of collapse keep falling flat. Global Updates — Ukraine, India, and the UK: Trump urges Zelenskyy to strike inside Russia, writing, “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invader's country.” Russia responds by bombing a U.S.-owned factory in Ukraine. In India, Prime Minister Modi moves closer to China, praising “steady progress guided by respect for each other's interests” while his billionaire allies profit from Russian oil sales. In the UK, PM Keir Starmer faces fury as asylum seekers flood in and crime rises. Breakthroughs in Autism Research: South Korean scientists develop a probiotic treatment that reduces autism symptoms in mice by altering gut bacteria. At Stanford, researchers test an epilepsy drug, Z-944, that reverses autism symptoms including seizures, sensitivity issues, and social impairments. Bryan calls the findings “a wonderful way to start the weekend.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump Powell Federal Reserve fight, Jerome Powell interest rates, Lisa Cook DOJ investigation, California redistricting Newsom, Texas GOP redistricting plan, Trump court victories Letitia James, Supreme Court NIH DEI grants, Ninth Circuit TPS migrants, Trump DC ICE mopeds, Walmart sales tariffs, U.S. factory activity 2025, Trump tariffs debt reduction, Zelenskyy strike inside Russia, Russia bombs U.S. factory Ukraine, Modi Xi China alliance, UK asylum seekers Starmer, South Korea autism probiotic, Stanford epilepsy drug autism reversal

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a spy war in Washington DC, the Democratic Party's collapse in registration and identity, and urgent global updates from Russia, China, North Korea, and Venezuela. From Tulsi Gabbard stripping clearances from top intel veterans to Democrats embracing socialism and Trump sending warships toward Venezuela, today's brief gives you the facts behind the headlines shaping America's future. Battle of the Spies in Washington: Trump's Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revoked the clearances of 37 current and former intel officers, including Obama-era staff tied to the discredited Trump-Russia ICA and Steele Dossier. Gabbard warned, “Having a clearance is a privilege — not a right.” Biden's former CIA Director William Burns fired back, calling it a “retribution campaign” and accusing Trump of acting like an autocrat. Bryan reminds listeners that Burns once visited Jeffrey Epstein's home for “career advice,” raising questions about credibility. Democratic Party in Decline: The New York Times reports Democratic voter registration is collapsing nationwide, especially among Hispanics, men, and voters under 45. Analyst Michael Pruser admitted, “There seems to be no end to this… month after month, year after year.” Party leaders split over solutions, with some warning of “Trump's quest for a personal dictatorship” while Obama's Ben Rhodes insists socialism is “the future of the party.” Bryan reflects on why he left the Democrats, citing Marxism, anti-American policies, and race radicalism. Global Updates — Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela: Putin backtracks on security guarantees for Ukraine, demanding veto power for Moscow and Beijing, while Trump's VP JD Vance insists, “Europeans are going to have to take the lion's share of the burden.” Microsoft cuts back cyber cooperation with China after Beijing abused early warnings, leading Bryan to quip, “Xiè xiè… that's Chinese for thank you, you stupid Americans at Microsoft.” New intel reveals a North Korean base near China housing up to nine ICBMs capable of striking the U.S., and Trump orders destroyers, Marines, submarines, and surveillance aircraft into Venezuelan waters to confront Nicolás Maduro's “narco-terror cartel.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Tulsi Gabbard revokes clearances, William Burns Trump fascist claim, Obama Trump-Russia ICA Steele Dossier, Democratic Party voter registration collapse, Ben Rhodes socialism future, Trump Putin Ukraine peace talks, JD Vance Ukraine burden sharing, Microsoft China cyber hacks, Bill Gates China spies, North Korea secret ICBM base, Trump Venezuela destroyers Marines, Nicolás Maduro narco-terror cartel

From falling crime in Washington DC to looming military moves in Venezuela, today's brief brings you stories that cut across politics, national security, and everyday life. Trump's Crime Crackdown in Washington DC: New data from the DC police union shows carjackings down 83 percent, robberies down 46 percent, and overall violent crime down 22 percent since Trump deployed National Guard troops. Nearly 500 arrests have been made, about half involving immigration-related crimes. The DOJ is also investigating whether DC officials manipulated past crime stats. Illegal Alien Truck Driver Kills Three in Florida: An Indian national living illegally in the U.S. caused a fatal crash after making an illegal U-turn in a semi-truck. He previously avoided deportation under Biden-era policies and held a CDL despite failing basic competency tests. The administration is now reviewing how hundreds of thousands of foreign-born drivers obtained licenses. Where Are Biden's 300,000 Missing Migrant Children: A DHS report shows hundreds of thousands of migrant children placed with unvetted sponsors or lost entirely by the Biden administration. Bryan shares a personal story that illustrates the dangers, arguing the failures amount to deliberate negligence. Listener Question — U.S. Boots on the Ground in Ukraine and Venezuela: Trump assures no American troops will deploy to Ukraine, but his administration is sending warships toward Venezuela amid pressure on dictator Nicolás Maduro. Bryan explains the risks of military entanglement and the key questions leaders must ask before committing U.S. forces abroad. Listener Question — Is Israel to Blame in Gaza: Negotiators from Egypt and Qatar offered Hamas a chance to disarm and cede control of Gaza in exchange for safe haven abroad, but Hamas refused. Bryan explains why Palestinian rejection of Israel's existence keeps war inevitable, despite alternatives for peace. Listener Question — Does Marijuana Really Relieve Pain: A Pennsylvania study finds most patients abandon medical cannabis within a year due to lack of results or side effects. Bryan highlights research showing placebo treatments can trigger natural pain relief, suggesting safer alternatives exist.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's security promises to Ukraine, Xi's pledge on Taiwan, Israel's expanding Gaza campaign, and Bolivia's rejection of socialism. From tense diplomacy in Washington to regime collapse in Latin America, today's brief connects the global headlines shaping America's future. Trump and European Leaders Debate Ukraine Security Guarantees: At the White House, Trump and European leaders pressed Zelenskyy to accept ceding Crimea and other land to Russia, while pledging U.S. and European backing for Ukraine's defense. Zelenskyy continues to demand binding security guarantees, but questions remain over whether that means U.S. boots on the ground. Bryan explores if America is edging toward a dangerous commitment. The Economics of a Ukraine Deal — Weapons and Minerals: Reports suggest a peace deal could include massive U.S. arms sales funded by Europe, alongside possible access to Ukraine's rare earth deposits. Bryan analyzes why Ukraine's mining industry faces seven major roadblocks, from corruption and infrastructure damage to Russian control of key deposits. History Check: The Budapest Memorandum Was Not a Guarantee: Listener Michelle raises whether America already owes Ukraine a security guarantee dating back to the 1990s. Bryan revisits the Budapest Memorandum, showing it offered only “assurances” — not guarantees — and why Ukraine knowingly traded its nuclear arsenal for cash, energy, and weaker promises. Xi Tells Trump No War with Taiwan — For Now: China's president reportedly told Trump he will not invade Taiwan while Trump is in office. Bryan considers whether this is respect for Trump, fear of U.S. drone defenses, or simply a pause due to China's economic crash, property collapse, and Xi's growing paranoia at home. Israel Prepares for Expanded Gaza War: The Israeli Defense Forces announce plans for a decisive campaign into Gaza City and central refugee camps. Netanyahu pushes to relocate Palestinians abroad while hostage negotiations stall. Israeli protests grow louder, but leadership insists Hamas must be destroyed to secure peace. Bolivia Rejects Socialism After 20 Years of Collapse: Voters oust their Marxist government after two decades of economic ruin, high inflation, shortages, and long fuel lines. The runoff pits a centrist senator and a conservative ex-president, both favoring closer U.S. ties. Bryan warns that Evo Morales, still backed by allies in Havana, Caracas, and Beijing, could yet destabilize Bolivia's democratic turn.

From high-stakes diplomacy in Washington to national security risks at home, plus a bit of good news from Germany, today's brief brings you the stories shaping America and the world. European Leaders Scramble After Trump-Putin Talks: After President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, European heads of state rushed to Washington DC to secure strong U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine. Trump signaled support for a permanent defense pledge but urged Kyiv to accept a peace deal even if unpopular. Bryan explains why critics warn this risks dragging America into a perpetual European conflict. Russia Hacks U.S. Courts to Build Blackmail Files: Bloomberg confirms that Russian cyber operatives infiltrated the federal court system for years, stealing sealed records and exposing informants. The stolen material may allow Putin to blackmail American politicians and corporate leaders. Bryan details how this could compromise U.S. decision-making and weaken trust in federal institutions. China Re-Arms Iran with Missiles and Air Defenses: Following its war with Israel, Tehran is rebuilding its weapons stockpiles with Chinese rocket fuel, missile systems, and air defenses. Despite Beijing's denials, intelligence reports confirm the transfer. Bryan unpacks what this means for the Middle East and U.S. national security. Palestinians Entering U.S. Under Questionable Visas: Reports reveal that thousands of Palestinians entered the United States under humanitarian visas with little or no vetting. Critics warn of radical sympathies and cultural incompatibility, while Islamist groups call the backlash discriminatory. Bryan examines how this policy failure exposes America to preventable risks. Jordan Cracks Down on Palestinian Radicals: The Jordanian government has intensified scrutiny of the Islamic Action Front for its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Palestinian extremists. With half of Jordan's population of Palestinian origin, King Abdullah faces a delicate balancing act to preserve stability. Bryan explains why this story is a warning for U.S. immigration debates. Coffee Boosts Mood and Mental Health: A new German study shows daily coffee drinkers report lower levels of depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Researchers link the benefits to gut bacteria changes that boost serotonin and brain health. Bryan shares why your morning cup might be doing more than keeping you awake.

Crop conditions are generally good, but trade restrictions tied to tariffs are shifting agricultural export strategies.

European leaders will not attend the Alaska talks, leaving the White House to own the negotiations and their outcome. Ukraine's Front Lines Near Collapse: Russian forces, bolstered by North Korean mercenaries, gain six miles in the Donetsk region through relentless “meat wave” assaults. Ukrainian soldiers are frustrated with leadership, and public support for the war has collapsed, with 69 percent now favoring a negotiated settlement. Bryan warns that without fresh troops or a change in strategy, Ukraine risks losing the entire country. U.S. Drone Conducts Deep Strike Recon in Mexico: An American MQ-9 Reaper drone flew 600 miles into cartel-controlled territory in Michoacán before shutting off its transponders.

Socialist Mayoral Candidate Leads in New York City: Zohran Mamdani dominates the polls in the Big Apple with promises of free housing, transit, and food through government-run grocery stores.
